...Masahiro Kawaji Complex macroscale and microscale heat and mass transfer phenomena are encountered in thermal energy storage and transport systems. Those systems involving ice slurries and nanoemulsions of phase change materials can be used for either cooling or heating applications or both, which...

...R. Sabbah; J. Seyed-Yagoobi; S. Al-Hallaj This numerical investigation fundamentally explores the thermal boundary layers’ characteristics of liquid flow with micro-encapsulated phase change material (MEPCM). Unlike pure liquids, the heat transfer characteristics of MEPCM slurry cannot be simply...

... in the stationary dendrite region, and a model of slurry with floating dendrites in the equiaxed part of the mush. The calculated temperature and solute concentration fields are compared with the relevant results of the classical enthalpy-porosity model, for an example problem of Pb-48 wt % Sn alloy solidification...

...Sarada Kuravi; Krishna M. Kota; Jianhua Du; Louis C. Chow Microchannels are used in applications where large amount of heat is produced. Phase change material (PCM) slurries can be used as a heat transfer fluid in microchannels as they provide increased heat capacity during the melting of phase...

..., some approaches using the phase-change-material (PCM) slurries as heat transfer fluids have been carried out ( 6 7 ). These slurries produced by suspending many fine PCM particles in a carrying fluid, usually water, benefit from a number of special features. Experimental tests have shown...

...Hideo Inaba; Myoung-Jun Kim; Akihiko Horibe The present study has been performed for obtaining the heat transfer enhancement characteristics of the plural microencapsulated solid-liquid phase change materials (PCM) slurry having different sizes, which flows in a straight tube heated under...
